Well, at one time Google got a large telno to name database. I don't know if they have updated it. They can certainly afford to. There are other web sites that do reverse number lookups as well. Still, starting with their database seems a good choice. They might not like you scraping it at once but a thousand * boxes pulling records one call at a time is not something they are going to be bothered by. If this, combined with other info from other sources (including contributions from people who have CNAM) builds a workable database, you will eventually get the LECs contributing their data to it. People want their name to show up correctly. If millions start using a database, the LECs will want their data in it, especially if entry is free or near free for bulk entries. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
